"This is not just for this one incident which went unpunished its for all thugs who call themselves "defenders" and particularly for their managers who defend their individuals no matter what damage they do."

"Absolutely disgracefull tackle with obvious intent to cause harm as is prooved by the scissor like action"

"I support this petition"

"For the good of the game this incident, which is just one of many recently, cannot be ignored or simply allowed to go without any action being taken. To ignore it or take no action is to condone it as being acceptable. To condone play like ths is ultimate"

"Awful tackle, he physically attempted to hurt Ben Arfa and as a result has broken his leg in two places. Pathetic."

"I support this petition"

"try banning this idiot for the same amount of time Ben Arfa will be out for! Imagine if it had been Barton who commited the foul, would have been on every back page today screaming for him to be banned forever"

"This has to go into further investigation"

"A suitably lengthed ban or substantial fine for a potentially career threatening tackle. We can not let the best players in the world be bullied out of the game by these mindless, modern day thugs, perfectly portrayed by Nigel de Jong."

"disgraceful that challenges like these can go unpunished"

"Yesterday football was the loser. A player of Ben Arfa's quality was cynically taken out of the game by a wild and reckless challenge which went completely unpunished. It is up to the FA to punish the person responsible."

"Sanchez Watt is an awful footballer but De Jong must be banned. He is a thug"

"De Jong's tackle on Hatem Ben Arfa of Newcastle was TOTALLY unnecessary and merits punishment!! How the referee can show his face in public is beyond me, my 10 yr old could have done a better job!!"
